zero.

Format

SHOW ERROR

Parameters

None.

Qualifiers

/EXACT

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify a search
string that must match the search string exactly and must be enclosed
with quotation marks (" ").

If you specify the /EXACT qualifier without the /SEARCH qualifier,
exact search mode is enabled when you set the search string with the
Find (E1) key.

/FULL

Displays the error count for all devices, including those with no
errors. (The error count is either zero or a number greater than zero.)

/HIGHLIGHT[=keyword]

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify the type of
highlighting you want when a search string is found. When a string is
found, the entire line is highlighted. You can use the following
keywords: BOLD, BLINK, REVERSE, and UNDERLINE. BOLD is the default
highlighting.

/OUTPUT[=filespec]

/OUTPUT=SYS$OUTPUT (default)

Specifies the file to which the display is written. By default, the
display is written to the current SYS$OUTPUT device.

If you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier with a partial file specification
(for example, specifying only a directory), SHOW is the default file
name and .LIS the default file type. The asterisk (*) and the percent
sign (%) wildcard characters are not allowed in the file specification.

If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.

/PAGE[=keyword]

/NOPAGE (default)

Controls the display of error information on the screen.

You can use the following keywords with the /PAGE qualifier:

CLEAR_SCREEN

Clears the screen before each page is displayed.

SCROLL

Displays information one line at a time.

SAVE[=
n]

Enables screen navigation of information, where
n is the number of pages to store.

The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier allows you to navigate through screens of
information. The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier stores up to 5 screens of up to
255 columns of information. When you use the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier, you
can use the following keys to navigate through the information:

/SEARCH="string"

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to specify a string that you want to
find in the information being displayed. Quotation marks are required
for the /SEARCH qualifier, if you include spaces in the text string.

You can also dynamically change the search string by pressing the Find
key (E1) while the information is being displayed. Quotation marks are
not required for a dynamic search.

/WRAP

/NOWRAP (default)

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to limit the number of columns to the
width of the screen and to wrap lines that extend beyond the width of
the screen to the next line.

The /NOWRAP qualifier extends lines beyond the width of the screen and
can be seen when you use the scrolling (left and right) features
provided by the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier.
